OK - good - I've just started making some Doll Quilts and postcards, and now realize what I can do with those small pieces. I used to give all mine away. Now I only give "some" away. They are fun to work with.

Talk about not throwing anything out - I had a pile of thread pieces that I just threw into a box that I keep by my sewing machine (you know those thread leads when you start to sew a seam that you cut off and the ones you end up with when you rip out a seam). I stuffed them all into a baggie and took them to a sewing guild "garage" sale with a little "free" sign and one of the ladies raced to the table to grab them. MORAL OF THIS STORY: Don't ever throw anything out. We should start a topic called: "Don't throw out - save for me . . ." That might be fun to see what others are looking for. What do you think?

For me, my scraps are my therapy. Especially when I get to play in a quiet room, all by myself (so no one hears me talking to myself)! Gwyn

My thoughts exactly!!! She is the Scrappy Queen!!!! And the best part.. she is FREE!!!!!!!! I have a pile of scraps myself and I go to her site for my inspiration. I am currently making my own crumb quilt. I have the main quilt top done, but I now am working on a crumb border. I haven't worked on that quilt for a few months since I moved to my house back in March. Hopefully I'll get back to it soon. Right now I have a few other irons on the fire to tackle first.
